Nerves? None. Fear? None. Excitement? Building every second I think of the game. I really ought to grow up, but it won't be this week!
I've tried to tell myself that all this is an unexpected bonus, but, yes the nerves are starting to creep in, I find I'm tetchy and my temper is getting shorter with apprehension and doubt, only this morning I barked out 'Oh shut the **** up you old fool' and to be fair our Vicar is a thoroughly decent chap.
I think he prefers cricket RH, his wife however is a solid Barnsley supporter, indeed, she was instrumental in the founding of The Five 0.
Spent this afternoon watching my lad and his mates play in a cup final for Dodworth MW U15s against Dronfield. A very tense, nervy affair which saw Dodworth eventually win 3 2 to retain the cup they won last season. Tomorrow will be a cake walk after today
